editricon Advantages of Breakthrough Open Source Agile Web Application Development Technologies

Ruby on rails is one of the breakthrough technology used for web application development. It is one of the modern web application platforms which comes with out of the box architecture and relies on web server to run it. With ruby on rails framework, convention issues related with picking development components, architecture design, configuring and developing scripts etc are easily handled as these are already the part of Rails framework. This helps to keep focus on business issues seeking efficient web based solutions. Latest version of ruby on rails is 3.1 which were released in August 2011.

As soon as developer understands the logic and limitations of framework ruby on rails magically helps in converting the conceptualized idea into reality by modeling the database according to the view. Pre requisite to this would be connection between database and view. Developer only has to write code for parts which deviate from standard. Like other web development technologies ruby on rails is also object oriented and also allows adding code to classes to facilitate high levels of customization and dynamism. Ruby on rails beautifully mixes all its framework components to provide robust and comprehensive solutions which other competition languages like .Net, Java fail to provide. Ruby on rails is at its best when it comes to code redundancy and lines of code.

Ruby in rails enables developers to pick classes from a centralized location called as ActiveRecord and need not bother about creating codes repetitively about the same as there are inbuilt classes to perform the same task. All conventional aspects are already being taken care of by Rails framework. This facilitates quick code generation due to simplicity and abstraction.

Like Ruby on Rails, Zend framework is also latest open source innovation technology used to development of internet based applications and is based on PHP technology. Zend used MVC (Model, View, Controller) architecture and is object oriented. Zend aims to improve the PHP coding experience. Components of Zend framework are loosely coupled to facilitate easy plug and play ensuring high levels of customization. Zend supports multiple databases and is compatible with most of the tools in web development space. Zend framework makes the life of a developer easy by providing stable and efficient code. Zend framework easily integrated with Zend studio that provides MVC features to it.

CakePHP is another development rapid framework that renders extensive architecture for application development using PHP technology. CakePHP also follows MVC architecture and allows developers to write code with least efforts and length. It is based on PHP and drives its essence from Ruby on Rails framework. Not all but many concepts have been taken from Ruby on rails. Along with MVC features this framework has extended classes to help in developing customized codes with high level of flexibility. CakePHP is very efficient in developing Security and Authentication based solutions. Apart from this Code generation, data validation and cleansing, documentation attain a quality level of utilities/features of CakePHP.
